Abstract (en)

Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer-program products for fusing at least two scores. In various embodiments, at least two scores are received in which each score predicts the probability of an outcome associated with a particular unit. In particular embodiments, A mass and a distance are calculated between two objects based on the at least two scores in which the first of the two objects is a constant and the second of the two objects comprises one or more characteristics of the particular unit. Further, in particular embodiments, a gravitational force between the two objects is calculated based on the mass and the distance and this gravitational force is used as a fused score for the at least two scores.
